66-33 Fresh Pond Road, Queens, NY 11385

66-33 Fresh Pond Road is a 4-story, 12-unit residential building located in Ridgewood, built in 1930 and currently owned by Michael Romaniello. The building has experienced recurring heat and water issues, with emergency complaints filed in both 2019 and 2020 regarding inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building. These complaints resulted in violations, including a C violation in November 2020 for hot water deficiencies in apartment 3C, and an open C violation from the same period for broken concrete and ceramic tile flooring in the 2nd-story public hall.

Apartment 3C also had multiple safety concerns in 2020, including an open B violation for defective carbon monoxide detectors. The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2019, when multiple violations were issued for apartment 3B regarding plumbing, plaster, ceiling leaks, and pest control. The property owner received an ECB violation in 2020 for improperly installed window A/C units above the public sidewalk, resulting in a $1,250 penalty.

More recently, there was a violation issued in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, though this was dismissed in November 2024. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases in the past five annual reporting periods (2021-2025). Additionally, a rodent inspection conducted in April 2017 resulted in a passing grade. The building's management history shows a mix of addressed and ongoing maintenance issues, with particular attention needed to the building's heating system and safety equipment compliance.
